Mother's Day was celebrated a week ago, but this week is all about observing a day for mother nature and her bounties. The United Nations marks May 22 as the International Day for Biological Diversity, an occasion to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues.

Last year, the initiative to save species and promote sustainability celebrated 25 years of action for the flora and fauna we live around. This year, the theme is Our Biodiversity, Our Food, Our Health, and with nature trails and awareness initiatives being organised across the country, here are a few events you can take part in.
